Abstract

The article evaluates the dosage compensation (DC) of the Z chromosome of chicken. It investigates the effect of DC in terms of sexual bias elimination. It explores two studies that differ in assessing the degree of DC and the methods of analyzing DC. It also reexamines the data sets of the two studies including the comparable chick embryonic brain data.
